Description
A unique, global exploration of the food we eat, where it comes from and how it is shared
Food for All is an enlightening book bursting with information, questions, and ideas about the food we eat, where it comes from, and how it is shared. Is there enough food to go round? Do some countries have too much? Should we all eat organic food or go vegetarian? These are just a few of the intriguing questions explored within its pages.
Where does the food on our plates start from, and how does it get to us? Is farming making climate change worse? Most importantly, how can we feed everyone on our planet, now and in the future?
Created by Mary Hoffman and Ros Asquith, the team behind The Great Big Book series, this work offers a brilliant, inspirational, and diverse exploration of food, accompanied by witty and thought-provoking illustrations.
